According to information in Afonso's court file, the accident happened just before 9 a.m. in front of 67 Highland Ave.

Afonso, who police said was operating a 2010 Nissan Rogue northbound on Highland Avenue on the wrong side of the roadway, drove onto a sidewalk in front of 67 Highland Ave., where he hit a parked 2004 Honda Accord and knocked it into the roadway.

Police said Afonso then continued to drive on the sidewalk, where he struck Goncalves, dragging her under his vehicle as he hit a utility pole.
